Detailed implementation manners

[0013] In the following description, specific details such as specific system architectures and technologies are presented for the purpose of illustration rather than limitation, so as to thoroughly understand the embodiments of the present application. However, those skilled in the art should clearly understand that the present application can also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted to avoid unnecessary details from interfering with the description of the present application.

[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present application clearer, the following will be described through specific embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0015] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 Flow schematic diagram of a gas monitoring method for a mined - out area of a mine provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method includes: S101: Obtain gas data collected by sensors set in different areas of the mined - out area, and generate a gas concentration matrix with time and space correlations based on the gas data.

[0016] In this embodiment, a variety of types of sensors are used, which are arranged in different areas of the mined - out area (such as positions near the air inlet, air outlet, roof, near the roadway wall, and deep in the mined - out area), including but not limited to carbon monoxide sensors, gas sensors, oxygen sensors, hydrogen sulfide sensors, etc. The gas data is collected at a set sampling frequency (for example, once per minute). In this embodiment, according to the collected gas data, as well as the geographical location information and collection time information of the sensors, a gas concentration matrix with time and space correlations is constructed; where the gas concentration matrix has time series as rows and the spatial positions of different sensors as columns, and the data shown is the gas concentration data of each area in the mined - out area at different times.

[0017] In this embodiment, before deploying the sensors, a three - dimensional model of the mined - out area is built using a Geographic Information System (GIS). Combining with the historical mining data of the mined - out area, the distribution law of past gas anomaly areas is analyzed. At the same time, special geological structure areas such as the roof caving zone and fracture development zone in the mined - out area are considered to obtain the deployment positions of the sensors. In addition, for areas in the mined - out area with potential hidden dangers of high - temperature fire sources, temperature sensors are added to avoid the occurrence of fires; at the connection points between the mined - out area and adjacent mined areas and roadways, the density of sensors is increased to prevent gas from flowing to other areas.

[0018] In this embodiment, for the original gas data collected by the sensor, validity verification is first performed to eliminate invalid data caused by sensor failures, communication anomalies, etc. Secondly, the sliding average filtering algorithm is used to smooth the data and remove random noise in the data. Finally, for missing data, linear interpolation or a prediction model based on machine learning is used to complete the data according to the data at the previous and subsequent time points and the data of sensors at adjacent positions, ensuring the integrity and continuity of the data.

[0019] When constructing the gas concentration matrix in this embodiment, the gas data can also be associated with the production activity data of the mine (such as coal mining operation time periods, blasting times, etc.) and meteorological condition data (such as atmospheric pressure, ambient temperature, etc.). For example, during coal mining operations, record the gas concentration changes in each area during this period and analyze the impact of production activities on gas concentration. At the same time, consider the impact of changes in atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature on gas diffusion, and incorporate these factors as additional dimensions into the gas concentration matrix to form a multi-dimensional data matrix that more comprehensively and accurately reflects the gas change law in the goaf.

[0020] S102: Establish a gas diffusion model based on the geological structure data and ventilation parameters of the goaf, and input the gas data into the gas diffusion model to calculate the gas concentration prediction matrix of the goaf.

[0021] In this embodiment, the collected geological structure data of the goaf includes: the shape, size, rock layer distribution, fracture development conditions, etc. of the goaf. At the same time, obtain the ventilation parameters of the goaf, such as ventilation air volume, ventilation method (exhaust type, forced type or hybrid type), air flow direction, etc. Based on the above geological structure data and ventilation parameters, a gas diffusion model is established using the principles of computational fluid dynamics or other suitable mathematical model methods. The gas diffusion model constructed in this embodiment can simulate the diffusion, migration and mixing processes of gas in the complex environment of the goaf. In this embodiment, the collected gas data is used as the input of the model, and the gas diffusion model is solved by numerical calculation and other methods, so as to calculate the gas concentration prediction matrix of the goaf in the future for a period of time (such as the next 1 hour, 2 hours, etc.). This matrix also contains time and space dimension information, and predicts the change trend of gas concentration in each area.

[0022] S103: Determine the target monitoring strategy based on the deviation coefficient matrix of the gas concentration matrix and the gas concentration prediction matrix.

[0023] In this embodiment, calculate the deviation coefficient matrix between the gas concentration matrix and the gas concentration prediction matrix. By comparing the elements at the corresponding positions of the two matrices, appropriate error calculation methods such as mean square error and absolute error are used to quantify the difference between the actual gas concentration and the predicted gas concentration.

[0024] In this embodiment, the change characteristics and abnormal conditions of gas concentration are analyzed based on the deviation coefficient matrix; if the deviation coefficient of a certain area is large, it indicates that the actual value of the gas concentration in this area is significantly different from the predicted value, and there may be potential hazards such as abnormal ventilation and gas leakage.

[0025] In this embodiment, the target monitoring strategy is determined according to the analysis results, specifically including: for areas with a large deviation coefficient, increasing the layout density of sensors or raising the sampling frequency of sensors to obtain gas data in this area more accurately and timely; for areas where the change trend of gas concentration is unstable or there are potential hazards, arranging manual inspections or using equipment such as drones for key inspections; adjusting the parameters of the ventilation system to optimize the ventilation effect and reduce the risk of accumulation of dangerous gases.

[0026] S104: Monitor the goaf based on the target monitoring strategy.

[0027] In this embodiment, the goaf is monitored according to the determined target monitoring strategy, gas data is obtained and updated in real time, the gas concentration matrix and the gas concentration prediction matrix are continuously analyzed and compared, and the monitoring strategy is dynamically adjusted to ensure that gas safety hazards in the goaf can be detected and handled in a timely manner, and the safe production of the mine is guaranteed.

[0028] Exemplarily, it is assumed that 3 sensors at different positions are set in the goaf (denoted as sensor A, sensor B, and sensor C respectively), and carbon monoxide (CO) gas concentration data (unit: ppm) is collected at 4 different times (denoted as time 1, time 2, time 3, and time 4).

[0029] According to the actually collected data, the constructed gas concentration matrix is as follows:

[0030] Among them, the rows of the matrix represent different times (from top to bottom are time 1, time 2, time 3, and time 4 in sequence), and the columns of the matrix represent different sensors (from left to right are sensor A, sensor B, and sensor C in sequence).

[0031] Based on the gas diffusion model, the carbon monoxide gas concentration at the same 4 future times and 3 positions is predicted, and the obtained gas concentration prediction matrix is as follows:

[0032] The meanings of the rows and columns of the gas concentration prediction matrix are the same as those of the gas concentration matrix; by comparing these two matrices, the deviation coefficient matrix can be further calculated to analyze the difference between the actual situation and the predicted situation, so as to determine the monitoring strategy.

[0033] It can be concluded from the above that in this application, gas data is collected by sensors set in different areas of the goaf, and a gas concentration matrix with time and space correlation is generated, which can accurately capture the dynamic changes of gas concentration at different time points in each area and avoid monitoring blind spots. A gas diffusion model is established based on geological structure data and ventilation parameters, and the gas diffusion law is simulated using this model. Combining the actual collected data to predict the gas concentration, the prediction result is more in line with the real situation. The monitoring strategy is determined according to the deviation coefficient matrix of the gas concentration matrix and the prediction matrix, and the monitoring focus can be adjusted in time for the deviation to make up for the prediction error. At the same time, the target monitoring indicators are determined based on the mining information and the gas danger level, focusing on key gas parameters and reducing unnecessary interference factors. By combining the target monitoring strategy with the indicators, the accuracy of monitoring is improved, providing accurate data support for mine safety management and effectively reducing the risk of safety accidents caused by gas problems.

[0034] In an embodiment of this application, obtaining the gas data collected by sensors set in different areas of the goaf and generating a gas concentration matrix with time and space correlation based on the gas data includes: Segmenting the gas data according to the first time window to generate a time series matrix; Constructing an adjacency matrix according to the spatial topological relationship between the deployment positions of all sensors; Fusing the time series matrix and the adjacency matrix through a spatio-temporal graph convolutional network to obtain the gas concentration matrix.

[0035] In this embodiment, the length of the first time window needs to be determined according to the characteristics of gas changes in the goaf and the actual requirements of monitoring; among them, the change of gas concentration in the goaf is affected by various factors, such as the operation cycle of the ventilation system, the frequency of coal mining operations, etc. Among them, if the ventilation system adjusts the air volume once an hour, the first time window can be set to 1 hour so that the segmentation result of the data can capture the law of gas concentration change with ventilation.

[0036] In this embodiment, the continuous gas data collected by the sensor is segmented at intervals of the first time window. For example, assuming that the sensor continuously collects gas data for 24 hours and the first time window is 1 hour, then the 24-hour gas data will be divided into 24 time periods. For the gas data within each time period, the data collected by different sensors are arranged into a vector in the order of the sensor numbers. For example, if 5 sensors are set in the gob area and the gas concentrations collected by the sensors within a certain 1-hour time period are c1, c2, c3, c4, c5 respectively, then a vector [c1, c2, c3, c4, c5] can be formed. The vectors corresponding to each time period are arranged in chronological order to obtain a time series matrix. Assuming that a total of M time periods are divided and there are N sensors, the dimension of the time series matrix is M×N.

[0037] In this embodiment, according to the deployment positions of all sensors in the gob area, the spatial topological relationship between the sensors is determined. For example, if two sensors are close to each other and on the same ventilation path, then the correlation between them is strong; on the contrary, if two sensors are separated by obstacles or in different ventilation zones, then the correlation between them is weak. In this embodiment, an N×N adjacency matrix is constructed according to the spatial topological relationship, where N is the number of sensors. For the element Aij in the matrix, if there is a spatial correlation between sensor i and sensor j, then Aij is assigned a value of 1; if there is no correlation, then Aij is assigned a value of 0. It is also possible to use the value obtained by normalizing the reciprocal of the physical distance between the sensors as the value of the matrix element.

[0038] This embodiment uses a spatio-temporal graph convolutional network to process the time series features of gas data and extract the features of gas data in the time dimension. At the same time, the spatial features between the sensors in the adjacency matrix are extracted. The time features and spatial features are fused through the fusion layer in the spatio-temporal graph convolutional network to generate a gas concentration matrix. Among them, the gas concentration matrix includes the gas concentration values of each sensor at different time points, contains the spatial relationship information between the sensors, and can more comprehensively and accurately describe the distribution and change of gas concentration in the gob area.

[0039] In an embodiment of the present application, segmenting the gas data according to the first time window to generate a time series matrix includes: Calculating the initial time window length according to the operating parameters of the ventilator set in the gob area, where the operating parameters include the start-stop cycle of the ventilator, the average wind speed in the gob area, and the gas diffusion time constant; Extracting the periodic characteristics of the gas concentration fluctuations in the historical gas data, and taking the period corresponding to the dominant frequency in the periodic characteristics identified by the Fourier transform algorithm as the window adjustment factor; Perform a weighted calculation on the initial time window length and the window adjustment factor to obtain the first time window; Segment the gas data according to the first time window to generate a time series matrix.

[0040] In this embodiment, the start and stop of the ventilator directly affect the air flow state in the gob area, thereby changing the gas diffusion and distribution laws; obtain the historical start and stop records of the ventilator and analyze its start and stop cycle. For example, if the ventilator starts once every 6 hours and runs continuously for 2 hours, this 6-hour cycle interval is the start and stop cycle. In this embodiment, the average wind speed in the gob area is obtained by performing a weighted average on the wind speed data at multiple positions within a period of time (such as the past 24 hours). For example, the wind speeds in different areas such as near the air inlet, air outlet, and the middle of the roadway are calculated according to the weights of their influence on gas diffusion to obtain the comprehensive average wind speed. The gas diffusion time constant in this embodiment describes the diffusion characteristics of gas in the gob area medium, and the gas diffusion time constant is related to the geological structure of the gob area (such as rock porosity, fracture development degree) and the properties of the gas itself (such as molecular diffusion coefficient).

[0041] In this embodiment, the initial time window length is calculated according to the ventilator start and stop cycle T, the average wind speed V in the gob area, the gas diffusion time constant τ, and the first formula. Among them, the first formula is:

[0042] Among them, is the initial time window length, L is the ventilation path length in the gob area, and α, β, γ are weight coefficients adjusted according to the actual situation.

[0043] In this embodiment, first, perform preprocessing operations such as denoising and missing value filling on the historical gas data; among them, median filtering is used to remove random noise in the data. For missing data, the data of adjacent time points and adjacent sensors are used to fill them through linear interpolation or machine learning-based methods. Secondly, take the preprocessed historical gas concentration data as a time domain signal and apply the Fourier transform algorithm to convert it to the frequency domain; in the frequency domain, each frequency corresponds to a specific period, and the higher the frequency, the shorter the corresponding period; by analyzing the spectrogram of the frequency domain signal, find the frequency component with the largest energy proportion, and this frequency is the dominant frequency, and take the period corresponding to the dominant frequency as the window adjustment factor. For example, if the dominant frequency is f = 0.1 Hz, then the corresponding period indicates that the gas concentration will have a relatively significant periodic fluctuation every 10 hours.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present application, Establishing a gas diffusion model based on the geological structure data and ventilation parameters of the gob area includes: Perform three-dimensional grid discretization on the goaf geological structure data, and extract the geological attribute parameters of each grid cell, including the permeability tensor and porosity; Solve the Darcy equation based on the ventilation parameters and geological attribute parameters to obtain the first result. The ventilation parameters include gas pressure; Establish a gas diffusion model based on the first result and the diffusion effect.

[0045] In this embodiment, technologies such as geographic information system and three-dimensional laser scanning are used to obtain the goaf geological structure data, including the spatial form, rock layer distribution, fracture development situation, etc. of the goaf, and a three-dimensional geological model is constructed according to the geological structure data. For example, the goaf is scanned by three-dimensional laser scanning technology to obtain the point cloud data of the goaf, and then the point cloud data is converted into a three-dimensional solid model using professional software.

[0046] In this embodiment, the finite element or finite volume method can be used to perform grid discretization on the three-dimensional geological model, and the goaf is divided into a large number of small three-dimensional grid cells. The size and density of the grid are adjusted according to the complexity of the goaf geological structure and the calculation accuracy requirements. In areas with complex geological structures and developed fractures, the grid is refined to improve the calculation accuracy; in areas with relatively simple geological structures, the grid size is appropriately increased to reduce the calculation amount. For each grid cell, its geological attribute parameters are extracted: the permeability tensor and porosity.

[0047] In this embodiment, based on the ventilation parameters of the goaf (such as gas pressure, which can be obtained by real-time measurement at different positions in the goaf through a pressure sensor) and the extracted geological attribute parameters (permeability tensor and porosity), a Darcy equation model applicable to gas flow in the goaf is established.

[0048]

[0049] Among them, is the Darcy velocity, that is, the gas seepage velocity, k is the permeability tensor, μ is the gas dynamic viscosity, is the pressure gradient.

[0050] In this embodiment, numerical calculation methods (such as the finite element method, finite difference method, etc.) are used to solve the Darcy equation; the boundary conditions of the goaf (such as the gas pressure and flow rate at the air inlet, the pressure at the air outlet, etc.) and the initial conditions (such as the gas pressure and concentration of each grid cell at the initial moment) are substituted into the equation, and through iterative calculation, the gas seepage velocity of each grid cell at different moments is solved, which is the first result.

[0051]

[0052] Among them, where 𝜙 is the porosity, t is the time, c is the gas concentration, D is the effective diffusion coefficient tensor (including molecular diffusion and mechanical dispersion), and S is the source term (such as gas emission); represents the net outflow of the gas concentration c due to the velocity field If the divergence is positive, the gas in this area diffuses outwards; if it is negative, the gas accumulates here.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present application, determine the target monitoring strategy based on the deviation coefficient matrix of the gas concentration matrix and the gas concentration prediction matrix, including: The gas concentration matrix includes concentration data of multiple different gases, the gas concentration prediction matrix includes concentration prediction data of multiple different gases, the deviation coefficient matrix includes multiple deviation coefficients, and each deviation coefficient is the difference between the concentration data of a gas and the concentration prediction data of the corresponding gas; For each gas: In response to the deviation coefficient between the concentration data of the gas and the concentration prediction data of the corresponding gas being less than or equal to the first threshold, determine the target monitoring strategy from multiple standard monitoring strategies; In response to the deviation coefficient between the concentration data of the gas and the concentration prediction data of the corresponding gas being greater than the first threshold and less than or equal to the second threshold, determine the first monitoring strategy from multiple standard monitoring strategies, and adjust the monitoring frequency of the sensor in the first monitoring strategy based on a preset first value to obtain the target monitoring strategy; In response to the deviation coefficient between the concentration data of the gas and the concentration prediction data of the corresponding gas being greater than the second threshold, select the emergency monitoring strategy, and the emergency monitoring strategy is used as the target monitoring strategy; The second threshold is greater than the first threshold.

[0054] In this embodiment, the gas concentration matrix covers the actual concentration data of multiple different gases (such as carbon monoxide, gas, oxygen, etc.) at different times and spatial positions; the gas concentration prediction matrix is the predicted concentration data of these gases at the same time and spatial positions calculated by the gas diffusion model; the deviation coefficient matrix is composed of multiple deviation coefficients, and each deviation coefficient is the difference between the actual concentration data of a certain gas and the corresponding predicted concentration data.

[0055] In this embodiment, when the deviation coefficient between the concentration data of a certain gas and the corresponding predicted concentration data is less than or equal to the first threshold, it indicates that the actual gas concentration is relatively close to the predicted concentration, and the gas concentration change is within the predictable normal range. At this time, a suitable strategy is selected from multiple pre-formulated standard monitoring strategies as the target monitoring strategy. The standard monitoring strategies are usually formulated according to the conventional monitoring requirements of the goaf, such as collecting data from all sensors at fixed time intervals (e.g., once per hour) and conducting regular manual inspections. Among them, the first threshold is a value preset according to the accuracy requirements of gas monitoring and the actual situation of the goaf.

[0056] In this embodiment, when the deviation coefficient is between the first threshold and the second threshold, it indicates that the gas concentration has changed abnormally to a certain extent but is still within the controllable range. At this time, a relatively stricter first monitoring strategy is selected from multiple standard monitoring strategies. The monitoring frequency of the sensors in the first monitoring strategy is adjusted based on a preset first value. Suppose the first value is 2. If the monitoring frequency of the sensors in the first monitoring strategy is once every half hour, then the adjusted monitoring frequency of the sensors becomes once every 15 minutes, thereby obtaining the target monitoring strategy to capture the gas concentration change more timely. Among them, the second threshold is greater than the first threshold.

[0057] In this embodiment, when the deviation coefficient is greater than the second threshold, it indicates that there is a significant deviation between the actual value and the predicted value of the gas concentration, and there may be potential dangerous situations such as abnormal ventilation and gas leakage, and emergency measures need to be taken immediately. At this time, the pre-formulated emergency monitoring strategy is selected as the target monitoring strategy. The emergency monitoring strategy usually includes significantly increasing the monitoring frequency of the sensors (such as collecting data once per minute), increasing the frequency and scope of manual inspections, and activating the alarm system to notify relevant personnel, etc., to ensure that dangerous situations can be quickly responded to and handled.

[0058] This embodiment's hierarchical decision-making mechanism based on the deviation coefficient matrix can adjust the monitoring strategy according to the gas concentration change situation, improving the effectiveness and safety of goaf gas monitoring.

[0059] In an embodiment of the present application, monitoring the goaf based on the target monitoring strategy includes: Determining the target monitoring index from multiple standard monitoring indexes based on the mining information and gas hazard level of the goaf; Monitoring the goaf based on the target monitoring index.

[0060] In this embodiment, the current mining progress of the goaf is obtained to clarify the areas being mined, the areas that have been mined, and the areas to be mined. For example, through the mine mining plan and real-time mining records, it is determined that at a certain moment, the mining operation is in progress in area A of the goaf, area B has been mined and is in a closed state, and area C is the mining target area for the next stage. There are differences in the gas generation and distribution characteristics in different mining stages and areas. In the areas being mined, due to the fragmentation of rock strata and mechanical disturbances, more gases such as gas are released; in the closed areas, there will be gas accumulation phenomena.

[0061] In this embodiment, according to the gas concentration matrix and the deviation coefficient matrix, combined with the dangerous characteristics of different gases (such as the flammability and explosiveness of gas, the toxicity of carbon monoxide, etc.), the danger level of each gas is evaluated; the overall gas danger level of the goaf is determined by synthesizing the danger levels of each gas.

[0062] This embodiment uses the gas diffusion model and actual monitoring data to judge the diffusion range and speed of dangerous gases. If a certain dangerous gas rapidly diffuses to a large area in a short time, it indicates a relatively high danger level. For example, when gas rapidly diffuses to multiple roadways under poor ventilation conditions, more stringent monitoring measures need to be taken.

[0063] In this embodiment, the standard monitoring index library is an index library established in advance containing various standard monitoring indexes, such as sensor numbers and gas concentration ranges, etc.; these standard monitoring indexes are formulated according to different goaf conditions and safety requirements.

[0064] In an embodiment of the present application, the standard monitoring indexes include: standard monitoring equipment numbers and standard data ranges; the target monitoring indexes include: target monitoring equipment numbers and target data ranges. Based on the mining information of the goaf and the gas danger level, the target monitoring indexes are determined from multiple standard monitoring indexes, including: Determining the target monitoring equipment number from multiple standard monitoring equipment based on the mining information of the goaf; Determining the target data range from multiple standard data ranges based on the mining information of the goaf and the gas danger level; Taking the target monitoring equipment number and the target data range as the target monitoring indexes.

[0065] In this embodiment, according to the goaf mining design drawings and the real-time mining progress, the goaf is divided into different functional areas, such as mining operation areas, pre-mining preparation areas, closed goafs, etc. For example, according to the mining plan, the current operation area is located in the eastern area of the goaf, where the rock strata are fragmented due to continuous mining activities, and the gas release risk is relatively high; while there will be gas accumulation problems in the western closed area.

[0066] Analyze the characteristics of mining activities in each area, including mining techniques (such as fully mechanized mining, ordinary mining), equipment operation conditions (start-up and shutdown times, working intensity of equipment such as shearers, conveyors, etc.), and personnel operation distribution. For example, in the fully mechanized mining operation area, large-scale mechanical equipment operates frequently, which will cause great disturbance to the surrounding gas flow, and equipment friction will generate heat, increasing the risk level of combustible gas.

[0067] In this embodiment, according to the established correspondence library between standard monitoring equipment numbers and goaf areas, select specific monitoring positions and functions corresponding to each standard monitoring equipment number. For example, the equipment numbered S-001 is a gas concentration sensor, deployed near the air inlet, for monitoring the gas content in the fresh air; the equipment numbered S-010 is a carbon monoxide sensor, located in the return airway of the working face, mainly for monitoring the carbon monoxide concentration generated by the operation. This example can screen out suitable equipment from the standard monitoring equipment according to the characteristics and risk levels of the mining areas. For high-risk mining operation areas, preferentially select equipment with high precision and fast response speed, such as gas sensors with real-time continuous monitoring functions, and increase the number of equipment deployments; while in the already closed goaf, reduce the number of equipment and retain the monitoring equipment for key gases (such as oxygen, carbon dioxide) to ensure that abnormal gas accumulation can be detected in time. The determined equipment number is the target monitoring equipment number.

[0068] In this embodiment, combine information such as mining activity intensity, progress, and ventilation conditions to evaluate the trend of gas generation and diffusion. For example, when the mining speed increases, the gas emission volume of gas such as methane will increase significantly; if the ventilation system fails or is adjusted, it will cause gas accumulation, thereby increasing the risk level.

[0069] In this embodiment, according to the characteristics and danger thresholds of different gases, divide the gas danger levels. Taking methane as an example, its danger levels are divided into three levels: low (concentration < 0.5%), medium (0.5% ≤ concentration < 1%), and high (concentration ≥ 1%); carbon monoxide is divided into safe (concentration < 24 ppm), warning (24 ppm ≤ concentration < 50 ppm), and dangerous (concentration ≥ 50 ppm) levels.

[0070] In this embodiment, the standard data range is the normal data range and alarm threshold range preset for different monitoring equipment and gas types. This embodiment will also dynamically adjust the standard data range according to the mining information and gas danger levels. In high-risk areas, reduce the data range and lower the warning and alarm thresholds to detect gas anomalies more timely; while in low-risk areas, expand the data range to reduce false alarms. Among them, the adjusted data range is the target data range.
